Kinda morbidly fascinating to see Google devolve into a horrible bucket of shit

Incognito mode is so weird shit doesn't get suggested forever because you looked it up once.

This is what I use it for primarily. When I watch a show, I like to see what other shows actors are in. Apparently Google thinks that means I want news about Kanye, the Kardashians, Beyonce, etc. So now whenever I look up an actor's name, I use incognito.

I just go straight to imdb for that. They have a great UI for that sort of investigation.

Tbh, I hate imdb's UI. I will avoid it if possible. It's so tiny on my phone, and the text is even smaller, everything is way off to the side with tons of wasted space, and I don't like how if I click on something they were in and then go back, it loses my place.

I use the app. The mobile browser version used to be pretty good, but then they bailed on functional and design parity between versions, which always seems to doom one version. I use it often enough that it's more than worth the space on my phone. If we're in a movies phase, I'll use it daily.
